About Oliver
Hi my name is Oliver and I am a fun, local Walnut Creek pickleball coach! I am also a local tennis coach with over 50 years of playing experience and over 35 years of teaching experience. I grew up in Germany, where I started playing tennis at age 6 and then quickly found success, winning the Youth Championship at TC Lindau for men’s singles, mixed doubles and secured 2nd place for the men’s doubles. I was part of the youth development program & competed at a high level. After moving to California in 1990, I continued playing competitively from 1990-1996 at 4.5 and 5.0 USTA NorCal winning several tennis tournaments while still building my coaching career.

I enjoy working with players of all ages and skill levels. My coaching style focuses on helping players improve their technique, strategy and confidence-all while keeping the game both fun and rewarding. Whether you’re picking up a paddle for the first time, looking to fine-tune your technique or wanting to stay active with a fun, social sport, I offer personalized lessons. With a main focus on skill development, strategy and enjoying the game, whether you’re a beginner looking to learn the basics, an experienced player aiming to level up or just someone that’s wanting to stay active with a fun, social sport, I offer private pickleball lessons at local courts or at your location. Let’s get out onto the pickleball court and work toward your goals together!
I am offering fun private pickleball lessons, semi-private pickleball lessons, group pickleball lessons and hitting only sessions for all ages (kids, teens, adults, seniors) and for all skill levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced). So whether you need to work on some specifics like your forehand, backhand, volley, serve, service return, overhead, drop shot (dink), approach shot, footwork, singles strategy or doubles strategy-I would be happy to help you with your game!
I teach pickleball lessons in the Walnut Creek area but will also travel up to 10 miles to a pickleball court that is conveniently close to you.
Please contact me through my FindPickleballLessons.com coach page and then I will contact you back within 24 hours to introduce myself, answer any questions and if you are interested, we’ll set-up your first pickleball lesson or hitting session at a time and place that is convenient for you. I look forward to hearing from you and to the opportunity to be your Walnut Creek pickleball coach on the court!
